| Yes, ideally you would want to sync as a user, unless root is absolutely required.
You can create two user's on the box, best bet would be to sync (NIS/Manually) their UID/GID as well to keep it fluid across both servers.

| why do not you use root user? or you can add a user to your server and change its gid or uid to 0 in /etc/passwd file. it will work like root but with different password
